Description: Outstanding map of North America, extending to the North Pole, from Thomson's General Atlas. One of the best early 19th Century atlas maps of North America, treating with remarkable detail the up to date explorations in the Northwest and in search of a northwest passage. An early map to report the discoveries of Lewis & Clark. All of the California Missions are shown. Fort Vancouver and Mt. Hood are shown, but there is little or no information on the Columbia River. A fair amount of Indian detail is shown, especially in Canada and west of the Missouri River, based upon Lewis & Clark. Wheat notes that the upper Missouri is based upon Soulard. Minor fold split top and bottom, else a nice example. Wheat 319.
